1 STRENGTHENING CAPACITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LAW IN MALAYSIA S JUDICIARY: TRAIN-THE-JUDGES PROGRAM (TTJ) JULY 2017 ILKAP, BANGI, Malaysia Ac#vity 6: Access to Jus#ce in industrial emission case Assoc. Prof. Dr. Maizatun Mustafa ELF IIUM
2 Court Approach to Remedies Any ac#on brought to court based upon harm to the environment requires the crea#on of appropriate remedies mandated by the law. It is through remedies that judges reinforce the rule of law in the environmental sehng by ensuring that violators do not gain advantage by virtue of their misdeeds. In maiers involving the enforcement of statutes, judges might be called upon to resolve different interpreta#ons of the law, and the resul#ng decision can have implica#ons beyond the case at hand.
3 Court Approach to Remedies While remedies are case-specific, and base on the nature of the viola#on and the prayer for relief in the case, in environmental cases, common remedies include: 1. Injunc#ve relief to halt the harmful ac#vity; 2. Damages to compensate for harm suffered; 3. Orders of res#tu#on or remedia#on; 4. Sanc#ons to punish the wrongdoer and to deter future viola#ons; and 5. Awards of costs and fees.
4 Remedies: Public PerspecUve Environmental issues can directly affect individual interests and/or rights of certain specific persons. Such affect can also occur on collec#ve interests, which do not belong to an individual but to all and each of the members of the group, class or community. Consider, for example, a project with adverse environmental effects on an en#re region, a landscape, a river system, etc. Given this sort of threats, access to judicial appeals on environmental maiers requires the availability of adequate tools for effec#ve interven#on before courts, with the aim to serve its fundamental purpose: the protec#on of the environment.
5 Case Study: Woon Tan Kan (Deceased) & 7 Ors. V. Asian Rare Earth Sdn. Bhd. [1992] 4 CLJ 2207 Brief historical background: Residents of Bukit Merah village - Plain#ffs Residents homes located either about 400 yards or about 1500 yards away where ARE factory was. Asian Rare Earth Sdn Bhd (ARE) - Defendants Commenced opera#on in May, 1982 Authoriza#on from Ministry of Health & the Radioac4ve Substances Act 1974 to handle radioac#ve materials Obtained manufacturing license from Ministry of Trade & Industry Atomic Energy Licensing Board ordered plant closure on 5 November 1985, but resume opera#ons on 2 February 1987 aeer obtaining license from the Board, which the factory in the mean#me created new temporary storage facility.
6 Case Study: Woon Tan Kan (Deceased) & 7 Ors. V. Asian Rare Earth Sdn. Bhd. [1992] 4 CLJ 2207 Brief historical background: Rare earth is a complex group of raw materials which are extracted from monazite which is contained in #n. They are versa#le and important elements in manufacturing of electronics and electrical. But produc#on of rare earth materials is very risky as it contain radioac#ve substances and can release dangerous gases.
7 Remedies from industrial emission: The Woon Tan Kan case Facts: In may 1982 a Japanese-Malaysian join venture, Asian rare Earth Sdn. Bhd. (ARE) set up a factory at Bukit Merah to manufacture rare earth, a process involving the genera#on of radioac#ve by products. Soon aeer the launch of the ARE plant radioac#ve wastes from the plant began to be dumped at nearby loca#ons. Local residents in Bukit Merah objected to the dumping, claiming that their health was being adversely affected by radia#on from the dump site.
8 Remedies due to industrial emission: The Woon Tan Kan case The Factory processed monazite, obtained from #n tailings. In 1984 the Bukit Merah residents discovered the danger of irradia#on exposure from radioac#ve waste which had been dumped into the pond at the back of the factory without any special precau#on. By-product of monazite processing produced a radioac#ve element, Thorium hydroxide, which is highly dangerous to human beings. It can lower white blood cell count, resistance to infec#on, damage DNA, could then lead to defec#ve cells, deformi#es, brain damage.
9 Remedies due to industrial emission: The Woon Tan Kan case When the residents discovered the danger, they formed the Perak An#- Radioac#vity CommiIee (PARC) to inves#gate and to commence legal proceeding to have the ARE factory closed. Eight of the residents joined together as plain#ffs in a suit for injunc#ons, declara#ons and damages.
10 The dispute and li8ga8on which ensued became a test case involving a number of crucial, controversial and interrelated ques8ons, scien8fic, legal and moral: What are the dangers involved in such processes? What is the likelihood of adverse effects on the popula#on? How are such effects to be measured and prevented? How should the law respond to disputes of this kind? What kind of legal remedies? what kind of legal concepts appropriate to resolve such dispute : tort law? Human rights? Public-interest law? Environmental law? Who should be responsible for preven#ng or curing adverse effects of such processes the company, the host government, or the home government?
11 The High Court Plain#ffs: Claimed defendant s ac#vi#es produced dangerous radioac#ve gases which escaped from the plant to their living area, causing serious biological damages including cancer; Claimed that the waste was not stored & disposed of in a sufficiently safe manner. The plain#ffs sued in negligence, nuisance and the rule in Rylands v. Fletcher, and sought declara#ons, damages and injunc#ons. Their case revolved around three issues: the levels or radia#on, the effects on the popula#on, and the safety measures taken by the defendants. Defendant: Denied the escaped radia#on and dangerous gases; Claimed their ac#vi#es safe and did not enhance background radia#on in the area; Denied their ac#vi#es caused increased incidence of leukemia, miscarriages, pre-natal & postnatal deaths, child illnesses & lead in blood among Bukit Merah residents; Challenged that ARE was licensed to handle & store radioac#ve substances.
12 The High Court The case was heard between September 1987 to November 1990 Complexity of the issues: - Difficul#es in measuring radia#on levels. - Difficul#es in assessing causal linkage between such radia#on and the health levels of the community. - Difficul#es in deciding what precau#ons are adequate.
13 Available laws in 1982 Radioac#ve Substances Act 1968 (repealed 1984) Atomic Energy Licensing Act 1984 Environmental Quality Act 1974, amended 1985 on EIA
14 The High Court Ruling The judge granted the following remedies: - A declara#on that ARE was not en#tled to operate that factory and keep radioac#ve waste on its land - A prohibitory injunc#on restraining the defendant from doing so; and - A mandatory injunc#on to remove all the waste to a permanent facility
15 In 1992 Judge of High Court, Ipoh: Granted declara#on & injunc#ons to restrain defendant from producing, storing & keeping radioac4ve wastes on their land in such manner as to cause the escape of radioac4ve gases & wastes ; Order also imposed specific requirement for storage of wastes; Judge held that radia#on from substances processed at the factory did caused damage to human cells, although congenital defects might take years or decades to show up, having harmful effects on DNA, even in small doses no threshold of harm from radioac#ve substances; also Held that high levels of background radia#on existed in the area but was augmented by crushing & milling of rocks containing radioac#ve elements at the factory.
16 The Supreme Court Decision The defendants applied for suspension of the injunc#ons on the basis that it was impossible to close down the en#re factory process within 14 days. On this basis the court lieed the injunc#ons. In 1993 the Supreme Court reversed High Court and decided in favour of ARE.
17 The Supreme Court Decision The Supreme Court s judgement in favour of the appellants was mainly based on the trial court s treatment of the expert evidence. The Court also found that the condi#ons of the grant of injunc#ve relief were not sa#sfied. Since the appellants were opera#ng under a licence granted by a statute which provides for an appropriate remedy, hence it was for the plain#ffs to convince the licensing authority that the opera#on of the factory was not in the interest of the public because of the danger of radia#on to their health.
18 Conclusion Through this presenta#on of the Woon Tan Kan case, par#cipants can generate a deeper understanding of remedies in environmental law from the perspec#ves of judiciary and the public.
